The police searches conducted yesterday by the anti-corruption unit of the Judicial Police the facilities of the New Bank and the place where now the old BES works, resulted in the seizure of about five million documents and the constitution as defendants some bank directors chaired by Eduardo da Cunha Stock.
PUBLIC found that the police action, triggered the 41 sites, 34 of them home-based, at the request of the Research Center Department and Prosecution (DCIAP), based on the criminal complaint filed by the Bank of Portugal after the forensic audit report against acts the previous administration led by Ricardo Salgado, resulted in the seizure of about five million parked documents in the computer facilities of the New Bank in Taguspark. It is here, in Oeiras, which is all documental records of the group and that will certify the suspected crimes committed by managers and senior executives, some of which carried over to the New Bank, by involving customers of the institution, or give new emphasis to data already confirmed by the investigation.
Following, were made defendants some Directors of the former BES who remained in office in the New Bank. The warrant search of the Criminal Central Court, signed by Judge Carlos Alexandre, was directed in this case specifically want the old BES (who now works at Rua Barata Salgueiro, Lisbon) or the New Bank, where there were searches at headquarters, on the 14th floor of the Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon (besides the Taguspark the building). In the latter two sites, the New Bank, the presence of researchers went on for several hours.
In addition to the evidence on any financing scheme and GES debt blind, worth about a thousand million, using the Swiss vehicles, service providers (BES and GES) of Eurofin name, there is the suspicion of using a blue bag, ES Enterprise, which in recent years have been used to move about 300 million for payments not documented within the group, but also to third parties.
This information, as revealed by the PUBLIC also focuses the attention of the prosecutor, who now seeks to determine the scope of action of ES Enterpise. Already Eurofin vehicles, such as the ES Enterprise are based in Switzerland, worked as a group of service providers led by Ricardo Salgado, who came to hold up to 1999, about 23% of these companies, and that the BOP admits having worked over several years as a “black box” used by Salgado to hide losses of GES and BES.
There are also suspected of other potentially illegal operations, including two revealed on 19 October by the magazine 2 CIVIL in a work entitled “Chronicle of the Empire End”. One relates to the purchase of Escom (owned by GES and debtor BES) in 2006 by the builder José Guilherme (whose Salgado says he has received a gift of € 14 million) of about 30% of Luanda three towers under construction for seven million dollars. This position would be resold to Escom, before the floors are offered for sale for $ 34 million.
The second controversial operation is associated with the BES debt of the business population of the President of Benfica, Luís Filipe Vieira with credits in the bank led by Salgado in 2012 of around 600 million euros. The former financial manager of BES, Morais Pires, restructured debt and put it in funds of BES Vida and ESAF, wiping out pressure on Luís Filipe Vieira, who thus ceased to be on the list of major debtors to BES required by Bank of Portugal and the troika .
